I miss the convenience of walking into town, plunking down in a chair overlooking the street at Mogagua, and ordering my 60 peso fruit plate with yogurt and granola for breakfast.
Afterwards I stroll around El Centro.
Matamoras always seems to be festooned with street banners. Locals must have a lot of fiestas on this street!
Evidently I'm not alone in my love of people watching. These giraffes stand on the curb everyday watching humans pass by.
A lone chair waits on the sidewalk on Juarez. I imagine someone else watches the village pass by from that perch.
I photographed this woman strolling down Hidalgo decked out in local finery on one of my morning walks.
It's always fun to spot Senor Queso Oaxaca walking the streets selling his cheese.
On this November morning walk, I noticed a mural painter with a work in progress.
Another morning I heard laughter above me and looked up to see men building a palapa.
Sometimes we're joined by furry friends on our morning walks.
Mary, from her position atop the church in the zocalo, occupies the ultimate people-watching perch. I guess I'm in good company with my daily habit!

Trying again to post a comment! Love all your photos... can't wait to be taking some of my own! See you soon!
It's great to be on vacation! I love to do all those things when I'm at the beach, but here in San Miguel there are always a zillions things to take care of - order gas for the house, call the water man, make sure all the utlities are paid etc etc etc. I can hardly wait to get to the beach for Jan/Feb and have no cares and leave everything to the maid and gardener to take care of here. Love your photos.
